Chapter 450: Wedding Gift (Part 2)
The returning fairies and goddesses driving clouds back to the splendor of the Turquoise Pool all came to a halt.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess turned around and gazed at the Heavenly Court.
Endless golden clouds gathered above the Six Great Stars, forming an image. On top of the Lingxiao Palace, with its nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine heavenly pillars, the Heavenly Emperor conferred the title of Moon Goddess upon Chang'e.
From now on, there would truly be Chang'e on the Moon... Tourism should flourish even more.
Chang'e, having regained the Moon, was surrounded by a clear light, yet the expression on her exquisite jade-like face was quite unpleasant.
Divine Enthronement.
Previously, when Li Changzhou sealed Beia Triss and Zheng Qing as gods, the fairies only perceived the change in the heavens, assuming it was some player skill.
Now, with Li Changzhou sitting on the Emperor's Platform, she experienced it firsthand and realized, this was Divine Enthronement!
Could one perform Divine Enthronement without the Investiture of the Gods?
Is this still the Heavenly Emperor? No, perhaps this is the true Heavenly Emperor!
Actually, it wasn't that exaggerated. Having become the Heavenly Emperor and having the Heavenly Court, Lee Changzhou's "King of Black Fog" showed an increase in prosperity, adding two divine positions.
The reasons for giving it to Chang'e were: firstly, to tie her down and have her help take care of the Moon;
Secondly, because she was considered a friend of Yang Qinglan;
Thirdly, because he heard her speaking for him outside the South Heavenly Gate.
"In the future, the Moon will be in your capable hands, Fairy," Li Changzhou said with a smile.
Chang'e lifted her face and said to Yang Qinglan, "Such a man should not be desired, a beast in human clothing; I advise you to divorce."
"I just got married today..." Li Changzhou almost stood up.
Feeling Li Changzhou's frustration beside her, Yang Qinglan couldn't help but laugh and said, "What I like is precisely that he's a beast in human clothing."
Chang'e glanced at Li Changzhou twice, "Well, he indeed looks like a decent person, for now, you two can make do."
Li Changzhou pointed at her and said to Yafeiluna, "…See the guest out."
He wasn't a sycophant, nor was he a man with no principles; he surely wouldn't pamper Chang'e.
"Let me choose a palace," Chang'e demanded before leaving.
"Two if you like," Li Changzhou signaled to Yafeiluna with his eyes.
Yafeiluna quickened her pace— the Lingxiao Palace was too grand— walked in front of Chang'e and made a gesture of invitation.
"No need to see me out, I prefer to come and go alone; I don't care for these formalities. I'll come back and find you after I finish viewing the moon," Chang'e said, looking at Yang Qinglan with her last sentence.
"Alright, I'll wait for you," Yang Qinglan said with a smile.
After Chang'e left, only their own people remained, and Li Changzhou let down his guard.
He said to Yafeiluna, "Let the major CEOs, group leaders, and the three— Huang Yuting, Nisi, and Yamakasi Riko— come over."
These people hadn't become immortals. Previously bringing them up would have been disrespectful to the fairies and goddesses.
Among the fairies and goddesses, there were also those who hadn't become immortals, but having lived on dew and nectar from a young age, their bodies were pure without any impurities.
But the Earth's mortals eat grains, deeply steeped in flavors.
Even Li Changzhou couldn't endure it; otherwise, he wouldn't have only brought this small group of people to the Lingxiao Palace. If levels were truly discussed, ministerial level could indeed be 'people above the hall.'
The people he named were already prepared, and Yafeiluna took only ten seconds to bring everyone up.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" these people also bowed and said.
Li Changzhou waved dismissively: "It's fine to call me Your Majesty, but the etiquette should remain as before."
He didn't waste time on this topic since they would barely see him a few times.
"From now on, the Heavenly Court will serve as the new headquarters, and all offices will be moved here. The great formations gifted by the Queen Mother are to be set up, and the immediate families of the staff can move here as well."
"That's wonderful!" Beia Triss said excitedly.
She and her mother were fine, but many of her subordinates had been assassinated, and their families became the focus of retaliation, the actions taken by remnants of former nations.
Not only on Cangqiong Star, Earth, the Magic World, and Four Seasons Star, the same situation. Although the frequency of various attacks was low, it never stopped.
Only Bi's Mars and Moon were stable.
Not to mention how much a glory it is to live in the Heavenly Court, whether or not it prolongs life, just the point of safety alone makes countless people yearn for it.
As for convenience of living... All the people from the Six Great Stars have to do is put things into the National Treasury a second before, and the Heavenly Court staff can take it out directly the next second, with no delay in between.
Items placed in the National Treasury neither spoil nor break.
If one wishes to go out, there are birds sent by the Queen Mother and various ships.
Additionally, with the myriad player skills, the current Heavenly Court would only be more livable and attractive than the ancient Heavenly Court.
After assigning the tasks, Li Changzhou led Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, and Yaochi and disappeared, directly entering the "Honey Pot World" from the Lingxiao Palace.
"A perfectly good wedding has turned into some kind of coronation," Li Changzhou complained, pulling out the Flat Peach Tree from the National Treasury and planting them one by one by the Eternal Youth Pond.
It happened to form a circle.
The Flat Peach Trees themselves were beautiful, with leaves as jade and peach blossoms continually blooming in all four seasons.
Occasionally, the falling flowers filled the pond with blossoms.
These peach blossoms were not ordinary items; Heavenly Palace fairies used them to make peach blossom cakes or directly brewed them into tea. When fallen into the water, they naturally disintegrated into Qi.
"The peaches were not even plucked; the Queen Mother was so generous!" Li Qianxia couldn't help but exclaim looking at the trees full of Flat Peaches.
"Indeed, how generous!" Little Radish's mouth corner dripped with clear saliva.
Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Yaochi sat beneath the first nine-thousand-year Flat Peach Tree.
"Finally, it's over. Let's seize the time to cultivate," Yang Qinglan said, as if settling grand life events and finally able to retire.
"Are you planning to have a child?" Yaochi asked curiously.
"The original plan was to have one," Li Changzhou took out a jug of immortal wine and poured six cups.
"The original plan?" Yaochi was puzzled.
Li Changzhou put down the wine jug and said: "We wouldn't have time to take care of it once it's born, and I don't want my child to experience a childhood of 'having parents but lacking parental love.'"
